THE REDBIRD REVIEW After a downer, buzzkill weekend and a series given away to the Cubs, the Cardinals had themselves a happy good time playing baseball on Monday night, flogging the visiting Miami Marlins by a 9-0 count. Adam Wainwright pitched like an ace. Paul...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW I’ve written plenty of words about the Cardinals and their rotten habit of screwing up the final game of a series. I’m tired of the angle but can’t ignore it. The team won’t give me a break; they do this over and over again to the point of...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW: Greetings. We have some day ball to look forward to, so I’ll try to get The Review done earlier than usual to leave plenty of reading time before the scheduled 1:10 p.m. pitch in Milwaukee. Opening Statement: The Cardinals have been this way...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Corbin Burnes is a super starting pitcher, capable of reducing any hitter or any team to a docile, lamblike level at the plate. Your St. Louis Cardinals figured to be in for a troublesome assignment against the uncooperative 2021 NL Cy Young Award...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals are 32-23 as they open a three-game series tonight at Tampa Bay. But what would their record look like without the punch and pitching provided by their rookies? As for the rookie hitters, we don’t need to post a lengthy review of their...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals had a very good week, winning six of eight games from the Padres and Cubs. Going into Memorial Day, the Cardinals trailed first-place Milwaukee by 3.5 games. By the time they departed Wrigley Field late Sunday night, the Cardinals had...
